I wonder what is it that people think they can't do in ubuntu? It's not like command line access is hidden or locked away.

Subject: What would you like to see most in minix?
Summary: small poll for my new operating system

Hello everybody out there using minix -
I'm doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won't be big and
professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones. This has been brewing
since april, and is starting to get ready.I'd like any feedback on
things people like/dislike in minix, as my OS resembles it somewhat
(same physical layout of the file-system(due to practical reasons)
among other things). I've currently ported bash(1.08) and gcc(1.40),and
things seem to work.This implies that I'll get something practical within a
few months, andI'd like to know what features most people would want. Any
suggestions are welcome, but I won't promise I'll implement them :-)
Linus (torvalds@kruuna.helsinki.fi)
PS. Yes - it's free of any minix code, and it has a multi-threaded fs.
It is NOT protable (uses 386 task switching etc), and it probably never
will support anything other than AT-harddisks, as that's
all I have :-(.

He controls the kernel but most every distro ships their own version of the kernel with patches applied, or include code he hasn't yet approved. The code he controls is the git repository @ kernel.org

Well then wouldn't that make only one true version of linux? The one approved by Linus Torvald.

A kernel is the "guts" of an operating system but a command line or GUI puts a front end on the OS...... Are you on a quest to find what Linus Torvalds approves? Who cares

Well-duh-AD, you're using the wrong distro. You need Dettu[Xx], if you want simplicity.
